The difference
between hard work and smart work is a highly debated topic especially because
we are in an information age and hence this topic is much more essential to
know and apply in our day to day lives, here are the differences that may help
you grow in your career:

Smart work is a term
used since the past decade or two because of the advent of technology and the
simplification of our lifestyle bought about by the technology, while it is
true that smart work is important it is still not the only way to move forward
in our life.

You should make a
list of what are things you want to do and how you plan to accomplish them,
detailing is very important to accomplish a task in a simple and efficient way,
taking care of each and every minute detail is very much essential in
accomplishing every task, this is an example of smart work.

Then prioritizing
what you want and how to remove unnecessary tasks from your schedule is also
very much important because unnecessary tasks consume lot of quality and
important time e.g. watching television people widely acknowledge that watching
TV is a waste of time but cannot control themselves from watching.

Though smart work is
essential hard work is also equally important and comes through commitment and
determination and it cannot be replaced by smart work at all.

Limit your goals
because too many goals can often lead to mixing up and lack of clarity and time
so prioritize them on the basis of short term and long term goals.

Good communication
with your clients is also considered as smart work because a good network can
help you accomplish many tasks that you previously thought impossible.

Also try to improve
yourself and evaluate yourself and your actions so that efficiency can be
improved.

Do not be lazy and
try to maintain an active lifestyle because more can be done in less time when
you have more energy.

All in all it can
be said that hard work and smart work both are essential and complementary to
each other to keep you on track to success.
